Punta Nera & Sentiero dei Minatori, Buggerru
Sardinia
From Buggerru — a village born of a 19th-century lead mine — a path follows the old miners' route along the cliffs to Punta Nera, a dark headland of layered rock, then drops to the golden bay of Cala Domestica with its Spanish tower and tunnel. Galleries and washery ruins line the way.
